eBay 'specials' and other junk finds

A place to bang on about subjects close to your heart that affect us all as 400cc riders. general banter is rife, however rudeness and abuse seem to be the norm, If a bit wet round the ears best go play elsewhere. Auto pruning of items 31 days and older

Those Norton's were called NRS's. I guess it's a good job that the seller didn't include 'Wankel' in the title...

It's a rotary 'wankel' engine. Remember seeing them race a few times in the early 90's, they sounded incredible.
